ActivityWatch Web Watcher Plus Firefox

ActivityWatch Web Watcher Plus

Track the active browser tab and send ActivityWatch-compatible events to a user-configurable ActivityWatch server.

Features & Capabilities

ActivityWatch Web Watcher Plus records the currently active browser tab and sends ActivityWatch-compatible web.tab.current events to an ActivityWatch server.

The extension is designed for people who want to self-host their own activity tracking workflow and choose their own server endpoint inside the extension settings.

Main features:

  • Records the active tab URL and page title
  • Also sends tab metadata such as audible state, incognito state, and tab count
  • Lets the user configure the ActivityWatch server URL from the extension settings page
  • Uses the standard ActivityWatch event format for compatibility with existing ActivityWatch deployments
This extension is intended for personal, self-hosted, or internal use with an ActivityWatch server controlled by the user. It does not require a third-party account, paid subscription, or external hardware.

Users should review their own ActivityWatch server setup and data retention practices before using the extension, especially if the configured server is remote.
